Best place to buy a Fascinate?

[dewalist]

So I decided to buy a Fascinate over the Incredible. Here are the purchase options that I know of (I'm upgrading a family plan line):

1. Verizon = $199
2. Amazon = $150
3. Wireflyfriends.com = $99

Am I missing anything? I'm a little leery of Wirefly - there are some pretty bad reviews of them on the web, but it looks like lately they've been trying to get better (I see feedback replies from them, their recent reviews on resellerratings.com are better than before).

Thanks!

i usually get my phones straight from verizon because i use asurion and i feel safer handling phone business from them. if you wanna go for the cheaper price then go with wirefly, couple people on this site got there fascinates from them without a problem

honestly? for me, i say verizon- cause i had to get my phone replced, and if you buy from non verizon online or elsewhere- you have to have it replaced by that seller. my phone was bought by my dad several states away and shipped to me. had it been bought anywhere other than a verizon company store, i would have had to ship it back and wait for a replacement. as it is, I got handed a new from the box phone. much better than being without a phone for days or longer...

I got my phone from wirefly.com for $50, I ordered Thursday night around 5 and got it Via FEDEX saturday.

Unfortunately I have a screen issue so im having to send it back, but customer service thus far has been really nice, and hopefully my phone will be returned as fast as it was sent the last time.

Definitely COSTCO:

$199.00 minus $70 coupon = $129.00. Also they only charge you sales tax on the $129.00 not the full retail price which is another huge savings!

I got mine at Radioshack for $99.99. Also, Radioshack's insurance plan is WAY superior to Verizons. I believe Verizon jacked up their rates and it's something like $8/month and a $90 deductible?

Radioshack's insurance is $125 upfront for 2 years of warranty and a $0 deductible on replacements. They also replace 1 battery/year as well if needed. Comes out to be only $5.20/month and no deductible. Win, freakin, win.
